Ketchikan, Alaska

Today we reached Ketchikan, Alaska. It is a very busy town and we had 2 shore excursions. The first was the Lumberjack show. It was a show that featured 4 lumberjacks. They demonstrated all the types of activities that lumberjacks did back in the old days. It was very entertaining and a sight to see for sure. Then, we headed to a tour bus. We boarded and took a quick tour around Ketchikan on the way to the Bight Totem Pole state park. When we arrived, we toured the grounds and all of the different types of totem poles. We got to see a clan house and the tour guide informed us of who lived there and what the purpose of the house was. It was very interesting and the scenery was beautiful. While standing there, we saw 2 bald eagles fly in front of us. It was a sight to see. At the end of the tour, we bought some books to take back to our classes. We finished the tour and headed back to town. We shopped in some local shops and headed back to the ship. At 12:30, we headed for Victoria, British Columbia. We will be there tomorrow night around dinner time.
